About

Craving your favorite Chinese takeout? This Better-Than-Takeout Orange Chicken recipe brings those vibrant, tangy flavors home with minimal effort. By lightly dusting chicken breast in flour and pan-frying it, you get a satisfying, golden-brown crust without the hassle of a heavy deep-fry batter. The secret to its effortless, mouthwatering finish is tossing the hot, crispy chicken directly in Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Orange Sauce, allowing the sweet and savory citrus glaze to coat every bite perfectly.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup avocado or vegetable oil 
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cubed
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper 
  • ⅓ cup Kikkoman® Gluten-Free Orange Sauce

For Serving

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced 

Directions

  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. While oil is heating, blot excess moisture from cubed chicken with paper towel. Add chicken, flour, salt and pepper to a bowl, stirring until chicken is coated.  
  2. Using tongs, add cubed chicken to hot oil and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and outside is golden brown.  
  3. Transfer hot chicken to a medium bowl and immediately toss in orange sauce. Serve hot with rice. Garnish with green onions.
